Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Teaching that is active and which provides sensory involvement like handling things, hearing things, eating something, and so forth allows more effective learning to take place. The more senses involved, the better the chance that the patient will remember.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A note about how and when the nurse gave the drug should be made on the patient's chart as soon as possible after the drug is administered. There is a greater chance of error if meds are not charted as soon as they are given.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
